To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Josnrn O, STEVICK, a

. citizen of the United States, residing at bottom, as will be readily un The above and other objects of. the inven tion are attained in its preferred embodiment illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a plan view 'of my im roved flushing tank; and Fig. 2 is a vertioa longitudinal section.

My im roved metallic flushing tank has a body 1 o rectangular or other form provided with hollow walls which form inner and outer sections 2, 3 separated by a space 4. The

inner section or tank 2 is adapted to contain the Water, while the outer section 3 provides a casing for the former andserves as a colforms upon the exterior of the inner section or tank 2. four sides of the body 1 and also under the erstood upon reference to the drawings.

In the ortion'of the pi e or tubularmember 5 whic space 4 between the two sections of the tank body are formed one .or more apertures or of Armstrong and ector for the water of condensation which The space '4! extends around all.

7 denotes an overflow, pipe arranged vertically to one side of the pipe 5 and having its openings'fi which permit the water of conlower end offset and extending into the space 4 between the two sections of the tank body, as shown at 8, and opening into the pipe or, connection 5, as clearly shown in F1g. 2.

The overflow pipe 7 has a bore of com are tively large diameter and its upper en terminates slightly above the normal level, of,

the water in the tank. All of the parts above described are cast integral as illustrated In the latter case, soldered in the openlng in the tank section 3 or a suitably packed coupling or joint provided.

9 denotes alined ceive the water supply pipe. Any suitable connections may be su ply 1pipe.

t W1 proved tank as above set forth, it will be simple, strong, durable, and comparatively inexpensive and will effectively revent the water of condensation dripping em the exteriorof. the tank. The outer section or tank section 3,will collect all the water of condensa" tion that forms upon the exterior of the inner water holder'or tank 2 and such water will pass from the space 4 through the openings 6 and into the flushing pipe 5. The overflow pipe 7 constructed and arranged as described, Wlll effectively carry off the water'from the tank and discharge'it into the flushing pipe in the event that the water inlet valve upon in the tank reached its normal level.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is: y I f The herein described flushing tank cast in a single piece and comprising a rectangular body having inner and outer sections spaced apartulpon its bottom and all of its u right e inner section forming a hol or for the water and the outer section 93 surrounding collector for [the water of condensation, the
